Established in 1988 in Kilmarnock as ‘Designs by Gail’, our passion for glass led us to rebrand as The Lighthouse Glass Company when we relocated to Irvine.
Inspired by the enchanting coastal setting, we infused a lighthouse theme into our workshop.
With over 15 years of experience in Irvine, we have been brightening homes with our exquisite glass creations.
Let us illuminate your space with the timeless elegance of Stained Glass.
Traditional
We design and manufacture Stained Glass Panels using traditional methods. Cutting coloured glass, painting and firing it in a kiln, making a leaded framework around it, soldering the joints, puttying it, allowing for whatever reinforcing or saddle bars may be applicable, and installing.
Overlay
This is a modern method with all the lead and colour going onto the surface of the glass. This technique works in tandem with toughened, security glasses and double glazing. The Overlay looks as authentic as possible with soldered the leaded joints, textured films and patinated lead.
Triple Glazing
This usually involves the alteration of traditional Stained Glass to suit new wooden or uPVC frames so that the original panel can be sealed within the cavity.
Sandblasting
Popular in the Victorian era as the clear / white of the glass brightens even the darkest hallway. It is versatile and can be used in conjunction with “brilliant” cutting for an ultra modern look.
Bevels
Whether an ornate cluster or a simple diamond, bevels adds a new dimension to the glass. With this style you can focus on clears and textures and not involve colour at all if you don`t want to. However this doesn’t mean that it will be a boring panel as you can see from our Gallery examples.
